This reverts part of yesterday's commit
6c058b2d, "tests: avoid
failure due to bug in FreeBSD 8.1's /bin/sh". Note that the offending
aspect of those shells is not officially a bug, since "local" is not
specified by POSIX. However, it is very unintuitive that prepending
"local" to an existing, standards-compliant assignment would evoke
such a fundamental change in semantics.
* tests/init.sh: Remove snippet requiring sane "local" support.

# We require $(...) support unconditionally.
-# We also require "local" support. The local-vs-IFS test is required to
-# eliminate FreeBSD 8.1's /bin/sh, which would otherwise pass these tests
-# and provoke opaque test failures in coreutils.
# We require a few additional shell features only when $EXEEXT is nonempty,
# in order to support automatic $EXEEXT emulation:
# - hyphen-containing alias names
# ? - not ok
